Which side of the plane to sit from Turku Airport (Turku) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?

The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the dense northern archipelago of Turku and a direct view of the main landmass of the Åland Islands before crossing into the Swedish Roslagen coast.

Naantali & Kultaranta
Just after takeoff, spot the coastal town of Naantali and the Finnish President's summer residence.
Åland Mainland
The best view of the largest island in the Åland archipelago, featuring its famous red granite soil.
Eckerö & Sea of Åland
The final stretch of the archipelago before the short crossing over open water toward the Swedish coast.
The Roslagen Coast
The beautiful entry into Sweden, featuring the lush forests and red summer cottages of the Uppland region.
The Right Side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the islands clearly. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 40 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of take-off, as the altitude remains low, providing incredible detail of the 20,000+ islands in the region. In winter, this side offers the best views of the ice-clogged northern channels.

South Turku Archipelago
A bird's eye view of the thousands of forested islands and rocky outcrops south of the flight path.
The Gullkrona Deep
Look for the transition where the dense island clusters give way to the deeper, open waters of the Baltic.
Föglö Islands
The southern clusters of the Åland archipelago, characterized by narrow channels and small fishing villages.
Baltic Shipping Lanes
High chance of spotting the large passenger ferries traveling between Helsinki/Turku and Stockholm.
Choose this side during evening flights for a stunning sunset over the Baltic Sea. The golden hour lighting emphasizes the texture of the waves and the silhouettes of the outer islands. It is also the side to watch for if the plane approaches Arlanda from the south over Stockholm city.
